When it is Right to Write?

The important point is to know why we are writing.

“Why am I writing this?” “Who is my intended audience?”


We need to write in a way that acknowledges purpose and audience.

Purposes for writing include:

  • to express views or feelings
  • to explain, report, describe or recount
  • to tell a story
  • to entertain or amuse
  • to inform, request or question
  • to persuade or convince
  • to clarify a point
  • to demonstrate knowledge or understanding.

Activities and learning contexts need to be meaningful through integrated curriculum areas, and support the development of key competencies.
